The Three Stripes is going back to the street level. After establishing itself as a force in the streetwear world in the 1980s by embracing Run DMC’s shell-toe obsession, adidas is returning to those roots, giving the brands that are influencing street-level fashion culture a turn to design their own Superstars.
The latest streetwear brand to announce an adidas collaboration is Los Angeles label Menace. In an Instagram post announcing the partnership as a celebration of 12 years in business for the brand, Menace owner, Steven Menace, gave a very quick preview of the shoes, showing us the back of a pair of Superstars with a Menace “M” logo in a Yankees-style font on the right shoe and a Trefoil on the left. The heel counters are navy blue, the sockliner is pink, and the upper of the shoe is a cream suede with some sort of curved line design by the heel. A detailed look at the sneakers reveals the intricately designed suede upper featuring woven Three Stripes and golden Menace branding.
